(Michael M Santiago/GettyImages/Getty Images) Just days before the eviction moratorium was set to expire, Albany passed emergency legislation to halt evictions until May 1, 2021. For the estimated 1.2 million New York families in rent arrears — many of whom are families with children — this news brought a momentary sigh of relief, but the paralyzing fear of eviction this spring shortly followed as New York still lacks any long-term plan to keep families safely housed. With hospitalizations and positivity rates continuing to spike and new unemployment claims being led at a dizzying pace, this temporary eviction ban is not a long-term solution, nor is waiting for the stars to align so we can return to “normal.” Consider this: When the 12.1% of New Yorkers collecting unemployment are able to return to a healthy job market, how many months of rental arrears will have piled up? And is repayment even possible? In 2018, 22% of New York City renters paid more than half of their household income in rent.

The New York Times Paywall
9-512-077 R E V : JANUARY 31, 2013 VINEET KUMAR BHARAT ANAND SUNIL GUPTA FELIX OBERHOLZER - GEE The New York Times Paywall Every newspaper in the country is paying close, close attention [to the Times paywall], wondering if they can get readers of online news to pay. Is that the future, or a desperate attempt to recreate the past?. Will paywalls work for newspapers? — Tom Ashbrook, host of On Point, National Public Radio1 On March 28, 2011, The New York Times (The Times) website became a restricted site. The home page and section front pages were unrestricted, but users who exceeded the allotted “free quota” of 20 articles for a month were directed to a web page where they could purchase a digital subscription. The paywall was launched earlier on March 17, 2011, in Canada, which served as the testing ground to detect and resolve possible problems before the global launch. The Times website had been mostly free for its entire existence, except for a few months in 2006–2007 when TimesSelect was launched. Traditional newspapers had been struggling to maintain profitability in the online medium, and they were eager to see how the public would react to the creation of a paywall at the most popular news website in the U.S. Martin Nisenholtz, the senior vice president of Digital Operations at The Times, was optimistic about the willingness of users to pay: I think the majority of people are honest and care about great journalism and The New York Times. When you look at the research that we’ve done, tons of people actually say, “Jeez, we’ve felt sort of guilty getting this for free all these years.

Speaking from the Heart: Mediation and Sincerity in U.S. Political Speech
Speaking from the Heart: Mediation and Sincerity in U.S. Political Speech David Supp-Montgomerie A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Christian Lundberg V. William Balthrop Carole Blair Lawrence Grossberg William Keith © 2013 David Supp-Montgomerie ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT David Supp-Montgomerie: Speaking from the Heart: Mediation and Sincerity in U.S. Political Speech (Under the direction of Christian Lundberg) This dissertation is a critique of the idea that the artifice of public speech is a problem to be solved. This idea is shown to entail the privilege attributed to purportedly direct or unmediated speech in U.S. public culture. I propose that we attend to the ēthos producing effects of rhetorical concealment by asserting that all public speech is constituted through rhetorical artifice. Wherever an alternative to rhetoric is offered, one finds a rhetoric of non-rhetoric at work. A primary strategy in such rhetoric is the performance of sincerity. In this dissertation, I analyze the function of sincerity in contexts of public deliberation. I seek to show how claims to sincerity are strategic, demonstrate how claims that a speaker employs artifice have been employed to imply a lack of sincerity, and disabuse communication, rhetoric, and deliberative theory of the notion that sincere expression occurs without technology. In Chapter Two I begin with the original problem of artifice for rhetoric in classical Athens in the writings of Plato and Isocrates.

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS NOW JUST a BUCK New York's
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS NOW JUST A BUCK New York’s Hometown Paper Announces Weekday Newsstand Price Drop From $1.25 to $1.00 In All Five Boroughs Effective Monday, January 11, 2016 New York, NY—January 6, 2016—The New York Daily News, the most widely read tabloid in the city and one of America's largest news websites, announced today the newsstand price of the weekday print edition of the newspaper will drop from $1.25 to $1.00 in all five boroughs of New York City. The change will go into effect on Monday, January 11, 2016. “As New York’s hometown paper, we look for every opportunity to bring our loyal readers the news they need at a lower price point,” said Bill Holiber, President and CEO of the New York Daily News. “The diversity of this city is a huge part of what makes our journalism great, and we are committed to ensure the community has a voice on issues both locally and nationally.” The 20% price drop for New Yorkers comes on the heels of the Daily News’ unwavering and passionate calls for gun control in the wake of the San Bernardino shootings. As one of the most widely circulated daily newspapers in the United States, the Daily News used its national platform to provoke a necessary conversation on the senseless violence and resulting death toll, urging Congress to act in order to prevent additional human casualties. The Daily News’ reporting and editorial coverage elicited a nationwide response from politicians, the media, and impassioned readers.

The Cycles of Constitutional Theory
09_FRIEDMAN_FINALFMT.DOC 11/16/2004 1:44 PM THE CYCLES OF CONSTITUTIONAL THEORY BARRY FRIEDMAN* I INTRODUCTION Constitutional scholarship—of which constitutional theory is one branch1— is inevitably a reaction to what is occurring today in constitutional law. The primary focus is upon the Supreme Court, but even with regard to the Constitu- tion as it operates outside the courts, a good portion of the scholarship tends to focus on what is of immediate political interest. It would be surprising if things were any different. Historical perspective, however, suggests some difficulty for the inevitably present-driven endeavor of constitutional theory. Seen through the lens of his- tory, it is apparent that arguments about the Constitution have a way of coming around again. When they do, they carry the potential to embarrass their origi- nal sponsors. Today’s arguments may not be so appealing under very different circumstances. But do changing circumstances necessarily justify changing con- stitutional theory? Is it even possible to adopt theoretical views about constitu- tional meaning and interpretation that will endure over time? These problems are acute when it comes to the mainstay of constitutional theory, scholarship about judicial review. Theorizing about judicial review nec- essarily occurs in response to Supreme Court decisions. Those decisions them- selves are a function of the composition of the bench, the issues that come be- fore the Court, and the Court’s position vis-à-vis the other branches of government. When the ideological valence of Supreme Court decisions shifts, constitu- tional theorizing about judicial review tends to shift as well.2 Over the last cen- Copyright © 2004 by Barry Friedman This Article is also available at http://www.law.duke.edu/journals/lcp.

Trump's Generals
STRATEGIC STUDIES QUARTERLY - PERSPECTIVE Trump’s Generals: A Natural Experiment in Civil-Military Relations JAMES JOYNER Abstract President Donald Trump’s filling of numerous top policy positions with active and retired officers he called “my generals” generated fears of mili- tarization of foreign policy, loss of civilian control of the military, and politicization of the military—yet also hope that they might restrain his worst impulses. Because the generals were all gone by the halfway mark of his administration, we have a natural experiment that allows us to com- pare a Trump presidency with and without retired generals serving as “adults in the room.” None of the dire predictions turned out to be quite true. While Trump repeatedly flirted with civil- military crises, they were not significantly amplified or deterred by the presence of retired generals in key roles. Further, the pattern continued in the second half of the ad- ministration when “true” civilians filled these billets. Whether longer-term damage was done, however, remains unresolved. ***** he presidency of Donald Trump served as a natural experiment, testing many of the long- debated precepts of the civil-military relations (CMR) literature. His postelection interviewing of Tmore than a half dozen recently retired four- star officers for senior posts in his administration unleashed a torrent of columns pointing to the dangers of further militarization of US foreign policy and damage to the military as a nonpartisan institution. At the same time, many argued that these men were uniquely qualified to rein in Trump’s worst pro- clivities. With Trump’s tenure over, we can begin to evaluate these claims.

I`m Al Sharpton. Tonight`s lead, the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin is parking on national outcry for justice. Three weeks ago the high school junior was shot and killed walking back to his father`s girlfriend`s house in a gated community near Orlando. But still, there has been no arrest even though the police know who shot him. George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain, says he shot in self-defense. But the young man was unarmed. He was going home after buying an iced tea and skittles candy. In a minute, we will talk with Trayvon`s father and family lawyer and we will get a live report from the scene. But first, the police have now finally released the 911 tapes in the case, and it contained a shocking heart-breaking picture of what happened that rainy night of February 26th and they cry out for justice to be done in the case. Here is the call that George Zimmerman, the shooter, made to police. (BEGIN AUDIOTAPE) 911 DISPATCHER: Sanford police department.
